This is a pretty sweet plugin, much better than messing around with cutout maps

no i havent. that is money.

Has anybody used the Ivy Generator for max? It is really good. plus it is free. This guy used it on the side of the building.

My favourite is the last one and I think the inclusion of text makes it especially interesting

second one is definitively a favourite. love the light in the courtyard.

they’re all “pretty good” though…

second one from the top is straight cash…

im not sure about artlantis. i have heard good things and bad things… do you have access to any other software? maxwell or 3ds? if not i can ask around, maybe do a google image search or somethin?

Vray’s global illumination and hdr lighting is the best. I never really liked mentalray

Well, I have been away for awhile.
I have been looking at the use of Maya Dynamics to force design.

It is kind of fun but I don’t know if it will go anywhere. Has anyone used
any of the dynamic functions in Maya (Airfield, Gravity, Newtonian field etc)?

Does everybody learn 3ds Max using the Barcelona Pavillion? I guess that animation won’t be going in my portfolio after all.

yep, sure I could contribute! well done Jennifer

can anybody tell me about artlantis rendering software??

Im going to put up a tutorial on creating a barcelona chair. This tutorial helps you understand some really helpful tools in 3ds it is especially helpful for organic forms.. trust me as it deals with the “soft selection” tool. ill try to get it posted within the week. I see that talk has slowed on the comment wall… i should post something…[Read more]

Great idea for a group! As I accumulate drawings with each class, I am at a loss of what to do with it all, what is worthy to include in a portfolio and how best to create a portfolio.

top one is my favorite but the grass on the bottom two is pretty amazing… shows how much you can do if you know what youre doing in photoshop

i was having trouble with 3ds ’08. i got my hands on ’09 and it works fine…

I use mental ray as well. I think for rendering perspectives it works pretty well but Brazil seems to be ideal for animations since it shortens the rendering time without sacrificing too much quality.

I tend to use mentalray

I’ll see if I can get a hold of the 64 bit version of Brazil later tonight. My buddy sent me VRay too but there was something wrong with the zip file so I couldn’t get it to work. What’s so great about VRay? He’s also supposed to send RenderMan whatever that is.
